N2  - This  book  provides  an  original  and  comprehensive  assessment  of  the  hypotheses concerning the origin of resurrection Christology. It fills a gap in the literature by addressing these issues using a transdisciplinary approach involving historical-critical study of the New Testament, theology, analytic philosophy, psychology, and comparative religion.Using  a  novel  analytic  framework,  this  book  demonstrates  that  a  logically  exhaustive  list  of  hypotheses  concerning  the  claims  of  Jesus'  post-mortem appearances and the outcome of Jesus' body can be formulated. It addresses these hypotheses in detail, including sophisticated combinations of hallucination hypothesis with cognitive dissonance; memory distortion; and  confirmation  bias.  Addressing  writings  from  both  within  and  outside  of Christianity, it also demonstrates how a comparative religion approach might further illuminate the origins of Christianity.This  is  a  thorough  study  of  arguably  the  key  event  in  the  formation  of  the Christian faith. As such, it will be of keen interest to theologians, New Testament scholars, philosophers, and scholars of religious studies
